This is actually for yesterday...
Hmmm I like this chapter because it brings up a really good point in the old testament that I always wondered about. It said that we had to "expel the wicked man from among you." (Deut.17:7) They did this in the form of outcasts, stoning and various other things. Are we supposed to continue this? especially since Jesus has come. But then Paul also says this:
11"But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat."
This hurts me because I call myself a sister in Christ but I know I have struggled with these sins before and am still now. Does this mean I should be cast out?
